Real Moms...

(Real mom-bloggers share life-decisions with the Internets. Real mom-bloggers share everything with the Internets. Not because they're narcissists. Because bigger, whip-toting bloggers - and the occasional cheeky red-head - tell them to.)

(Real mom-bloggers like cracking the whip themselves, but this mom-blogger is late to the meme and so must settle for just vaguely brandishing her own whip in the air and insisting that anyone who has not yet exposed their real-momness must do so immediately. And report back.)

Don't worry, I can give you lots of refresher practice with a newborn at BlogHer this year - and hopefully you won't run screaming after seeing me try to deal with my two. (At least, I hope I'll be able to deal with two kids.)

Mayberry Mom speaks for me... Two is a bit hard at first but then you adjust and it's awesome. Also, I highly recommend an ovulation scope. It's a one time purchase of about $15 and works like a charm.

yay you for pushing past that fear. you will only get better with more wonderbabiness to love. :)

despite my non-mom-ness, i got tagged for this meme too. apparently people think the fact that i wrote about my own bad mother means i have something valuable to contribute to this discussion. who knew? if you're interested, i finally got the post up tonight, so feel free to come check it out.

Although there were some hard times with colic and PPD, I wouldn't trade my girls who are just 25 minutes shy of being exactly two years apart. They love each other so much! That being said, I'm done with baby making myself. I may very well be getting my IUD when, you know... :)

catherine you won't regret having baby # 2,its really not so bad having 2 of them and the heart just gets bigger and more full of love with each new baby.and they need a sibling anyways.go for it!i love each and every one of mine.and wouldn't have it any other way.good luck to you.LAVENDULA

That is wonderful! My boys are 26 months apart, which means Ryan was the age WonderBaby is now when we started trying again. And just you wait-the first time you see WonderBaby pat her brother or sister on the head, or kiss him/her gently on the forehead, your heart will swell up even bigger!

Oh, good luck! How exciting! And this coming from a woman who is nine months pregnant, so don't worry too much about having forgotten the ills of gestation. It's not that bad and the second time around will be like old hat for you.

20 months apart and contemplating and hoping for a number three. Good luck. Do know this: they will be co-conspirators in a little thing we like to call synchronized shitting. They out-maneuver even the finest choreographers with their ability to perfecly time the explosions. It is a spectacular ride!
